Ramsey and The NCAA
Ramsey was first interviewed by an athletics representative from the NCAA on January 10, 1992. He was interviewed for a second time in March 1992, with subsequent interviews in August 1992 and a final interview on February 27, 1993.
In the spring of 1992, Dye was diagnosed with hemachromatosis, a fact that may have gained him a measure of sympathy with the NCAA. The continuing investigation stretched into the 1992 football season. Auburn's new President, William Muse, hired a new athletic director to help with the investigation upon Dye's resignation as A.D. Meanwhile, both Eric Ramsey and his wife, Twilitta, graduated from Auburn wearing bulletproof vests during commencement.
The scandal further evolved in October 1992 when Pat Dye finally acknowledged that he did know about the illegal payments to RamseyOn November 5, 1992, the NCAA's official letter of inquiry arrived. This disclosure effectively ended his career as a college football coach although Dye did not resign until November 25, 1992, just 16 hours before the game against arch rival Alabama.
